One of the world's top climbers will be sharing some of his adventures with an audience at a school near Cockermouth.

Tim Emmett will be speaking at St Bridget's School, Brigham, to help raise funds for sport equipment.

He has been invited to the school by parent Helen Hope, who has been friends with him since university days.

"He's a world class climber and base jumper/wing suit flyer and uses his sport to help motivate and inspire people," said Helen.

"He's a professional speaker but is doing this for me as a fundraiser for the school."

The talk will be at 7pm on Friday, October 6, at the school. Tickets cost £10, to register email stbridgets10k@gmail.com.
